No, it means a unit that is not broken in context of the whole army does not need to be fixed and comparing it to a completely different unit with completely different upgrades at completely different timing with completely different army behind it couldn't be any less relevant to that first units performance in context of its own army and support it gets.
Or it means you dont even understand the context of the problem and can operate only with paper numbers. Its not about timing and army, its about the same core problem. That because of lack of proper mainline, you either have to secrifice map control or rely on numbers concentrated in one place in order to stay in the game. The only difference being that for Penals its an early game problem and for OKW its a late game problem.
But probably its too hard for someone who dont play the game, even during the ban
In comparison to that, I can assure you with utmost certainty that people do know how to play vs volks for years, especially now that they have cost that matches their oppressiveness in early game against these very same cons you compare them to.
Because OP decided to compare them to Cons, since cons are by far weakest Allied mainline, even with Reserves. It has nothing to do with specifically cons. They are the only inf in the game, who dont shits on volks completly early game.
On the other hand both USF\UKF shits on volks during early and late game.
But again, your tunnel vision cant comprehend this. Or you want to claim that volks are oppresive against Rifles and Tommies aswell?
